Tips:

  • Prep ahead: Save time in the morning by chopping vegetables and assembling the casserole the night before. Simply refrigerate it overnight and pop it in the slow cooker in the morning.
  • Choose the right sausage: Use a spicy or mild sausage, depending on your preference. If you like a bit of heat, chorizo is a great option. For a milder flavor, use breakfast sausage or Italian sausage.
  • Don't overcook the eggs: The eggs will continue to cook in the slow cooker, so it's important not to overcook them initially. Cook them until they are just set, but still slightly runny.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Once the casserole is cooked, top it with your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, or guacamole. You can also add a side of fruit or toast.
